ITALIAN RENAISSANCE TAPESTRY
./ HUNTING SCENE
Ik an extended landscape, showing on the left a wood, approached by a
three-arched bridge, and on the right an avenue, leading to a stately
house, are in progress various hunting scenes. On the left a galloping
horseman is being directed to the whereabouts of a hear that has been
already brought to bay. Attacked by hounds and by two men with
forked spears, he has gripped one of the latter in his teeth, while he
holds one of the dogs to the ground. Farther back a man is seen in
pursuit of another bear that has carried off a child, while to the right
two mounted men and three on foot are hastening to the attack of a
bull. Meanwhile, in the foreground of the scene, unaware of the hue
and cry, rest an otter, a doe, a hyena and a large bird. In the hack-
ground figures are watching the sport from the balcony and windows
of the mansion, and two men, in the central distance, appear t<> l>.- fishing
in front of a castle, behind which stretches a wooded hill.
The border is highly ornate, having at the sides an arabesque of
vases, fruits and masks, terminating at the lower corners in female fig-

ZEN OB I t
It seems a reasonable supposition that the subject of this tapestry re-
volves about the fortunes of Zenobia, the beautiful and brilliant Queen
of Palmyra; a character popular in the Renaissance, because it offered
so signal an example of feminine achievement. After asserting her in-
dependence, she conquered several Roman generals, until, in a.d. 27~.
Aurelian forced her to flee from Palmyra and take refuge in Persia. She
was captured by him and led captive to Rome. In the tapestry the
central figure is the general in plumed helmet and fawn-colored coat, em-

hroidcred with blue, over a blue robe brocaded in rose and silver. Me
is mounted on a charter, caparisoned in a gold-brocaded housing that
has scalloped edges, hung with tassels. Beside him rides a lady with her
hair arranged in a Grecian knot, whose gown tails in folds from a golden
yoke. Following on fool behind the horses is a bearded man in a Per-
sian cap, in tiie custody of two lictors who carry fasces; and succeeding
this group come two horsemen, with young, girlish faces and long locks
below their helmets.
Farther back a bearded man in Persian cap stands by a table at
which a queen sits, with a casket and sacks of fruit or jewels at her feet.
In the rear are two groups of tents and soldiers coming and going be-
tween them, while on the extreme left is a phalanx of troops with flags
and banners, headed by two knights in armor. Back of the tents is an
irregular row of trees with yellow and dark blue and gray-blue foliage,
beyond which appear wooded hills, crowned with three imposing piles
of buildings. The vista terminates in very steep craggy mountains.
The color scheme of the whole is distinguished by a beautiful tonality.

"PLEASURE IS A CAUSE OF DEATH"
The main motive of the border is a repeat of bunches of flowers and
fruit in baskets and vases, connected by a running scroll of rose-colored
strap-work. It is interrupted occasionally by figures. Thus, in a panel
at the centre of the bottom, a dove is fluttering before the open jaws of
a dragon, with the legend below: " LET J . EST. CAUSA. VOLUN-
TAS " — " Pleasure is a cause of Death." The idea is h'r>t played upon
in the side borders, where a caryatid, in the one case of a satyr, in the
other of an amply formed woman, supports a little shrine of columns and
canopy under which is a standing figure of Minerva, the goddess of wis-
dom. Then it is expanded in the Held of the design.

on (lie left, where it is bordered by the sea. Hero in their gladness a
sea-horse is spouting water, and dolphins are gambolling, while ships
and sailors are resting after their voyages. But on land is eonfusion.
There is a tangled mass of horses mixed up with wheels and other frag-
ments of a wrecked chariot, amid which is the prostrate form of a youth
in a cuirass of gold and crimson scales, with his red drapery still float-
ing in a circle ahove him. It is evidently Phaethon, who has come to
grief in daring to drive the horses of the Sun-God. Farther hack, pur-
sued hy a hound, a man is seeking refuge in a tree, whom one may take
to represent Act;eon, while the figure hastening from him, notwithstand-
ing the attire, may he meant for Diana. In horror of the happenings,
shepherds are hastily driving off their flocks into the wood. Again, in
the foreground on the right is a man in golden-yellow tunic, hordered
with embroideryj red and gold Btriped hreeches and cream-colored
cothurni, who seems to he urging forward his hounds, while his com-
panion, with a gesture of his hand, would stay his advance. He prob-
ably represents Adonis, who, in defiance of Diana's advice, persisted in
pursuing a wild hoar.
The whole scene is distinguished not only by the spirited skill with
which all the incidents are depicted, but by the beauty of the landscape
setting and the general charm of color.

FRENCH GOTHIC TAPESTRY: FIFTEENTH CENTCRY
DEI ORA TIVE PANEL
Tills magnificent decorative tapestry is strangely reminiscent of Persian
influence in its interlace of forms, use of birds and animals, and in
the elaborate conventionalization of the foliage and flowers. The last-
named display an extraordinary inventiveness, all of them being pro-
fusely ornate and yet varying from one another. The motive is the
tulip, so highly prized by the Persians, which was introducd from the
East into Europe by the Turks and first bcame known to the Western
nations in 1559 through the particular specimen, turban flower, or

dimensions of a tree, spreading like a palm with a fan-shaped growth
of stems, curving <Iom iiw.unl with the weight of leaves thai somewhat
resemble those of the banana. The extremity of each bough and of
the steins which branch from it are crowned with blossoms, some in
bud, some m lull flower, ami others in the various stages of decline, as
I heir petals curl back and leave the seeds hare. In amongst this tangle
of beautiful forms birds are nestling, and deer lurk timidly, while a
lion and a griffin face each other, a cat is crawling up the stem over
their heads, and higher up appear in full view a crane and a peacock.
Still higher a hawk has pounced upon a duck, and a pheasant is soaring.
The background is a bluish black, the stems and foliage bciii"
relieved iii dull amber and yellowish green, and the flowers combining
the hues of old rose, blue, yellow and warm drab. The lion, the deer
and the griffin are a pale yellow and dull amber, their eyes being light
blue, while the griffin's feathers are outlined in crimson.

DECORATIVE MOTIVE
Thk inscription at the top betrays that a section of the original design
has disappeared. The words seem to have been " FA TO PRC-
(DENTI)A MINOR "—" Prudence is less powerful than luck"; the
letters included in brackets having headed the central strip that is miss-
ing. The omission of the latter explains the lack of continuity in the
suspended valance and ribbon scroll: also the fact that the heavy swags
of fruit are not supported in the centre and that the festoons of flower
cafices, lower down, are not properly joined. The legend and the de-
sign suggest that the tapestry may have been executed for the adornment
of a country house, or at least for some one who was interested in gar-
dening. For the composition is flanked by two terminal figures such as
were used by the Romans to mark the boundaries of land — in their
original form a post, surmounted by the head of Terminus, the god of

fields and agriculture. In their present more elaborate and fanciful
form they may have represented portraits of some man and his wife who
were mutually interested in the care of their estate.
The heads and pedestals are of slightly lower tone than that of the
creamy drahbish background, while the draperies are white and the
corselets golden. Prominent colors in the bunches of fruit are dull
lemon and white, relieved by the peacock-blue and pale green of the
leaves. I'pon the left one of the smaller fruit trophies rests a dove,
on the other a blue-jay.

FLEMISH SIXTEENTH CENTURY
Is the centre two griffins support a coat-of-arms, above which is a
crown, surmounted by a pelican, feeding her young with her blood, the
heraldic significance of which is piety. Above this mass float cupids,
supporting a trophy of garlands, flags, trumpets and a cartouche bear-
ing the representation of a ship-of-war. On the left of the central de-
sign is a man in the armor of the fifteenth century, and on the right,
as pendant, a figure of Minerva. They stand on embankments, in front
of which are massed cannons, mortars, balls, shells and grape shot.
This tapestry is evidently a piece executed in honor of some per-
sonage, presumably of the individual in armor. Many details suggest
that he may have been Don .John of Austria, the illegitimate son of
Charles V., whose romantic career terminated in 1;>78, in his thirty-third
year. After being brought up at the Court of Spain by his half-
brother, Philip II., he commanded in the war against the Moors, and.
later, in the defeat of the Turks at the battle of Lepauto. Among the
colorful incidents of his life was a passion for Margaret of Valois, Queen
of Navarre, who by the poets and courtiers of her day was celebrated
as a Minerva, both for her wit and eloquence, and because she bore a
beauty that, like the Medusa head upon the goddess's shield, vanquished
all beholders.
Prospective Bvvkm will please head Special Notice heading Page 1.
The points in the tapestry Hint seem to hear out this assumption
are : ( 1 ) The crown is a royal one, though not that of a ruling sovereign :
(&) upon the coat-of-arms appears the royal emblem of Castile, the
castle: (H) the ;inns mv encircled by tin chain and jewel of the Golden
Fleece, of which order Don John was a member; (4) in the cartouche at
the top of the composition is a ship-of-war; (5) the personage is in the
armor of the period ; he carries a baton, to which, as having been regent
of the Netherlands, Don John was entitled; and at ft time when closely
cropped heads were usual, Don John's beautiful hair started the fashion
of long locks. Motley relates that, as this hero of romance lay dying
in a pigeon-house, his attendants disguised the dirty walls by hanging
them with tapestries.
The ground is a creamy white; the griffins pale crimson, with green
and vcllow on their bellies; the armor blue, the helmet gold, the draperies
blue and white. On Hie bottom edging appear on the left " B. B.,"
monogram of the Brussels manufactory, and on the right " V. II."

WRESTLING MATCH
Tins scene might pass for mi ordinary wrestling match, in the presence
of i\ party of ladies, hetween two young men whose attitudes are rendered
with remarkable spirit. Hut 1 1 it- artist lias invested it with a curiously
quaint association. As the names upon the grass indicate, these youths
are " Hercules " and " Theseus," once companions in the raid of the
Argonauts upon the Golden Fleece, now competing in the Olympian
game.-, for such appears tu hi the significance of the mi-spelled word -
" Olipnis." The match is being umpired by a marshal with a wand,
whose gesture draws attention to the fact that the original design must
have included a rival group of ladies, supporting their champion,
Theseus, as the group in evidence is applauding his opponent. These
groups are lettered, respectively, with the names of one of the Furies,
" Mcga-ra," and of the terrible female monster " Gorgon," presumably
to suggest the fury which inspires the wrestlers and is possibly shared
by their fair supporters.
The colors of the costumes are variations of the hues of rose and
cream enlivened with touches of blue. A particularly noticeable feature
of the rest of the color scheme is the deep greenish blue of the sky, -had-
ing down to gray. Deep green, also, is the ground of both the borders,
the upper one having a ground of golden rose, with bluish white
blossoms of narcissus, and the lower, conventionalized forms in hues of
golden rose and creamy yellow. The whole piece is distinguished by its
exquisite tonality.

eagle and a little bird to whom he seems to be talking, may be intended
to represent St. Francis d'Assisi. On each side of the trellis is a panel
of grotesque arabesques. The left one starts at the bottom with a pair
of human-headed monsters, with goat's legs and dolphin's tails, support-
ing a mirror. Above them, suspended in a swing, is a sphinx with
butterfly wings, while at the top a lightly clad woman, holding a laurel
branch, reclines upon a heavy festoon of leaves and flowers and fruit.
Upon a corresponding festoon, at the right, a baby is astride. Below
appear two burning hearts, perhaps symbolizing the cult of the Sacred
Hearts of Christ and the Virgin, which dates from the latter part of
the seventeenth century. At the bottom, gazing at a music desk, are
two monkeys, whose bodies terminate in the form of a double screw.
The whole is enclosed in a border of ivy vines, interrupted at the corners
and at the centre of the top and bottom by heads.
The color of the background is a kind of smoked ivory; the leaves
are in two tints of cool green and yellow green, the woodwork being
alternately a dull buflf and creamy chocolate. These colors appear in
the arabesque, relieved here and there, as in the mirror, with flashes of
deep blue. The man's drapery is a creamy white with dull chocolate
shading.

FIELD OF BATTLE
In the background a body of horsemen and foot soldiers are charging
up a hill. They seem to be in pursuit of a routed enemy, and are cutting
down the stragglers. Meanwhile in the foreground it would appear
that the hero of the fight, worn out and wounded, is being helped for-
ward by a gentleman and two men-at-arms, while another man, in the
centre, is extolling his prowess to the Queen. She, in royal state, with
crown and sceptre and attended by her ladies, stretches forth a hand
to welcome him. On the left kneel two other ladies. Concern is ex-

pressed in I10H1 their faces, while the gestures of one arc eloquent of
distress.
The landscape is woven in lovely tones of grayish drab, against
which is relieved the grayish blue of the trees, while touches of red
appear in the costumes of the fighting men. The prominent figure
of the man in the foreground is clad in a creamy-colored tunic, or-
namented with a diaper of gold, over which is a blue drapery, his sleeves
and the slashes of his trunks being rose. The Qui -en's brocaded robe is
of exquisitely delicate tones of rose and cream and drab, in rich con-
trast with which are the deep blue of Iter mantle, and its white masses of
reflected light. A similarly hold combination of blue and white dis-
tinguishes the gown of the lady kneeling on the left, contrasted in her
case with the sumptuously brocaded lining of her sleeves. The lower
part of the tapestry lias been extensively restored. The magnificent
border has a ground of cinnamon on which is a framework of gray tree-
steius, hung profusely with bunches of melons, gourds, figs and other
fruits.

PEACE AND PROSPElilTY
The legend which appears in the centre of each of the side borders
M H(A)EC META LABOIU'M, I bis is the goal of labors," sounds
the note of the scene. It is a kind of fete champetre, representing in
allegory the rewards that follow upon toil and war. At the foot of a
small ivy-twined tree, in the centre of the foreground, sits a bearded
man with a crown upon his head, his body clad in a golden cuirass, cm-
bossed with arabesques, while a drapery crosses bis knees, revealing one
of his decorated greaves. He is listening to a girl, in a gray robe and
blue drapery, who stands behind him, playing upon a lute. To the
right of her, a little to tile back, a lady, holding a lyre, sits beside an-
other who is playing on a dulcimer, a man leaning between them and
beating time with his finger. On the opposite side of the scene a
seated warrior, as he holds his helmet on his knee, lifts up a laurel

wreath, while a girl offers him a bunch of flowers. She wears a long,
lovely brocaded skirt of dark and pale blue, witb a short upper skirt and
bodv of white. The space between the figures is gay with plants and
vines.
In the distance on the left rises a stately palace, the windows of
which arc thronged with people, who watch a cavalcade galloping for-
ward to welcome a body of returning horsemen. Still farther back
is a harbor, where several ships are resting, and to the right of it
appears a villa with formal garden in which people are disporting them-
selves. Here and there also in the middle distance are seated pairs of
lovers, and a couple is entering a grove on the right, where a stag
appears. All these various minute groups, as well as the architecture
and details of the landscape, are executed with extraordinary skill and
spirit, forming a background of exquisite intricacy to the figures in the
front plane.
The gladsomeness that pervades the whole scene is echoed in the
beautifully ordered elaboration of the border, which is one of exceptional
delicacy and sumptuousncss. It may be briefly described as consisting
of trophies of flowers and fruits, accompanied in parts with architectural
grotesques, and interspersed with exquisitely wrought figures. Thus,
at the top appears Juno with her peacock, balanced hy I e!a with the
swan. In the upper part of the side borders, beneath grape arbors,
are figures of Pomona and Plenty with cornucopias, and below each a
dragon with the legend already quoted. In the bottom corners are,
respectively, a warrior bearing a torch, beside a winged Victory that
blows upon a tuba, and a figure of Justice with the scales, while in the
centre of the lower border sits a laughing girl, holding a basket of fruit,
on each side of whom appears a satyr with an amphora of wine.

in a white veil, is crowned with a nimbus. Opposite to her is the figure
of the beloved disciple, .John. Clad in a crimson cloak and blue tunic,
he carries one hand on bis breast and extends the other toward the Vir-
gin, who has been committed by the dying Saviour to his special care.

VISIT OF THE MAGI
Thk background of this piece, so remarkable in color, is composed of
a deep peacock-blue, sown with minute crescents, suggestive of the East,
from which the Three Kings or Wise Men have come to pay their
homage to the Holy Child at Bethlehem. The latter is shown upon his
mother's lap, extending his hand towards the casket which the oldest,
of the visitors, on bended knees, is offering. The sleeveless tunic worn
by the latter is of superb old-rose velvet, decorated round the neck,
arm-openings and edge with large pearls and garnets upon white silk.
The second King, clad in an amber tunic and rose-color drapery, stands
leaning forward, as he proffers a goblet with a crescent-shaped bowl,
while his other hand is raised to his forehead in salutation. The third,
an Ethiopian, of swarthy face, has a turban beneath his crown and wears
a long, straight-cut tunic of cream-colored fabric, embroidered with red
arabesques. Particularly exquisite is the Virgin's raiment, consisting
of a cream-colored robe, embroidered in pale fawn and blue, and a
mantle of dove-gray with a border of white arabesque, that in the shad-

fastened Oil the breast with a clasp, set with pearls and garnets. In
marked contrast with the delicacy of this costume, Joseph is habited like
a mcdia'vul craftsman in a sombre brown suit of doublet, cloak and hood.
The figures throughout are distinguished by the natural character of
their gestures and the significant expressions on their faces.
The tapestry is enclosed in a rich Gothic frame, the central feature
of the canopy being a figure of God the Father, represented as in
Byzantine art, with the triple crown, while in the border at the foot of
the tapestry are the words " Venite adoremus " — " Come, let us adore "
— the opening words of the refrain of one of the oldest of the Latin

CRUCIFIXION
This rarely beautiful example of primitive art is enclosed in a richly
decorated antique frame of Gothic design, its top composed of a canopy
of six arches, the tracery of which, as well as the floral decorations that
embellish the other details, shows the transition style between the Rayon-
nant and Flamboyant. Below it the tapestry commences with a valance,
formed of scalloped flaps of blue and white drapery, alternately raised
and hanging. The h'eld of the design is a purplish black, the open spaces
of which, on the right, are sprinkled with conventionalized doves and
blossoms, and, on the left, traced over with an arabesque of foliage.
The composition of figures is divided into two unequal parts by a sym-
bolic representation of the Crucifixion, so placed that the monogram,
" I.H.S." (Iesos), within a sunburst, occupies almost the centre of the
subject. The Cross itself is pictured in the manner of Byzantine art as
a tree (Acts v. 30), with conventionalized foliage growing from its
stem. It is surmounted by the Dove, while at the extremity of the right
arm is an emblem in which the hand of God appears. The Tree grows

Heaven, where, attended by angels, the Virgin is enthroned beside the
Father. Both figures are clad in a mantle of warm drab, in the one case
over a green robe, in the other over a robe of drab-rose, brocaded with
gold.
On the left of the Cross, the Church is symbolized in the person of a
bishop, whose white alb shows below a cope of rosy drab, decorated with
blue and gold. By his side stands the Virgin, crowned, bearing an orb
and a lily-stem as sceptre. Next to her, with wimple over her head and
clad in a black cloak, lined with pale blue, is the Magdalene, as the in-
scription above her, " S. Mare." indicates. She carries the pot of
spikenard and a crozier. To her left is that favorite saint of mediaeval
times, the Roman martyr St. Agues, witli the symbol of her purity, a
lamb. The foreground is sprinkled with flowers and with birds in pairs,
while below the Cross appears the symbol of entwined fish, the letters
of the Greek word for fish being the initials of the legend in Greek.

GRAND ITALIAN RENAISSANCE CEILING
(DHA WING-ROOM)
This extraordinarily beautiful ceiling is constructed of wood panels
and mouldings, colored and gilded. The main portion consists of fifteen
rectangular coffered panels, set in decorated beams, at the intersection
of which depend handsome rosettes. Along the centre of each beam is
a guilloche design, flatly painted in hues of dull gold, black and red on
a greenish-blue ground. This design is framed with a half-round bonier
of oak wreaths, entwined with ribbon, the latter being bright gold, while
the leaves are a bronzed gold and the occasional acorns golden-red. A
similar border surrounds each panel, and between these two borders is
an exquisite low-relief repeat of a double Greek fret, embellished at in-
tervals with laurel sprays. The ground of this is a lovely gray-blue,
the raised portions being in various tones of lustrous old-gold.
Contrasted with the richness and comparatively low tones of the
beams, the fifteen enclosed picture-panels arc light and silvery in their
combination of old-rose, pink, occasional blue and a wonderful range of
grays. Yet their design is in itself a bold one, consisting of pairs of

touche, in the centre of which is a picture. The subjects illustrated in
the fifteen pictures of the main room and in the four that decorate the
alcove are taken from the story of Cupid and Psyche, winch, originally
written hv Apuleius in the second century of our era, became known to
the Italians in the sixteenth century, and fascinated their imagination.
The subjects, which do not seem to be arranged in the order of their
happenings, are as follows: Beginning at the northwest corner and
continuing along the north side of the room, they are in order: 1. Psyche
giving a sop to Cerberus; 2. Psyche appearing before Cupid; 8, Her
parents consulting the Oracle of Apollo, Venus, her rival, seen above;
4. .Mercury despatched to bring Psyche to Olympus; 5. Psyche, at the
instigation of her three sisters, discovering Cupid.
The centre series, also beginning west, comprises: 1. Tritons and
Naiads conveying Psyche across the river to fetch the ram's fleece; 2.
Perhaps Psyche's appearance before Pluto and Proserpine in Hades;
3. The garden of Venus; 4. Pscyhe inquiring the way to Hades; 5. Cupid
summoning Psyche's sisters to join her.
South series, beginning west: 1. Olympus — Hercules among the gods
and introduction of Psyche: 2. Cupid flying away after having told
Psyche how to perforin her task ; 3. Psyche preparing to cross to Hades
in Charon's boat ; 4. An old man on his knees, with his arm round one of
three children, supplicating a woman with two attendants: 5. Venus on
a sofa, watching the switching of Psyche (the latter figure damaged).
The subjects of the annex from east to west arc: 1. Cupid acci-
dentally awakening Psyche with a touch of his arrow (which should
commence the whole scries); 2. Psyche entertaining her three sisters in
a bath: !}. An outdoor scene of bathing: 4. A woman, mule to the waist,
sitting at a table, back to the spectator: another leaning over to water
a plant.

MILLE-FLEUR TAPESTRY
FRENCH FIFTEENTH CENTURY
This and its companion piece (slightly larger) are beautiful specimens
of the tapestries designed after the suggestion of Venetian millefiori
or " thousand-flower " glass, which was made by fusing together rods
or tubes of glass enamels of various colors. The composition is sur-
mounted by the panorama of a city, extending along the edge of a river.
Its buildings arc distinguished by frequent towers, surmounted by
spiral roofs. Two windmills appear among them, and a white duck is
swimming in the foreground.
Helow this is the Held, of a beautiful old black, sown with flowering
plants, that, arrayed in serried ranks, spread over the whole panel

except the centre, which is occupied by a heraldic shield, enclosed in
a border of conventionalized floral forms. The flowers themselves are
realistically designed, representing, for the most part, blossoms that
droop from their stems, such as the campanula, snowdrop and tulip.
Their colors involve deep rose, pale rose, amber and cream, relieved by
leaves of dark blue and two shades of light given. Disposed over the
field of flowers are single forms of birds and rabbits, while on the left
of the coat-of-arms is a spaniel, facing a stag on the opposite side, and
down below appears a fox with a cock in its jaws. The whole is
surrounded by a choicely refined border of lemon and creamy flowers and
bluish leaves upon a ground of golden red.

Thoi ch somewhat larger in size than the foregoing, this piece cor-
responds with the latter in general design and color. It varies, however,
in certain details. The panoramic view is more deeply colored in its
reds and greens and is also more hilly and does not show a river in the
foreground. There is no central device on the field of decoration, over
which ai»' distributed irregularly flying and resting pigeons, and numer-
ous rabbits. Near the bottom couches a stag, and below it to the left
is a hound.
The border, instead of involving natural flower forms, as in the
other example, has a scroll repeat interrupted by handsome conven-
tionalized tulip blossoms.

"Tlie Tabernacle, about four metres (13 feet) in height, is sculptured in

also polygonal, composed of a diminutive portico, which sustains tin- summit
of the pyramid surmounted by a ball; all of the same period nml work-
manship.
" Few examples of such altar talieriincles remain so entire, complete and
genuine to the very sununit. In Home, that of San Lorenzo outside the
Walls, made in the year 1148 by the sons of Paolo, the marble worker, has,
in our days, been almost entirely reconstructed; nor is that of San Giorgio
in Velabro, the makers of which are unknown to us, wholly free from mod-
em restoration; of that of Santa Marin in Castello at Corneto, made in the
year lltitt by Giovanni and Guittone, sons of Nicola di Ranuzio, Unmans, I
have seen the broken colonnettes of the upper orders demolished. That of
the same type in the Cathedral of Anagni (and perhaps others which I do not
MDMinber in the regions surrounding Home) I have not attentively observed,
whether they are all ancient and genuine, or reconstructed in part.
" In short, the Taliernaclc of S. Stcfano in Fiano is a most complete speci-
men of that fype, and therefore most noteworthy, which was in use from the
twelfth to about the middle of the thirteenth century, before they gradually
c hanged their forms into that of the arch, and then, through the influence of
the Tuscan school, into the Ikree-tobeil (as technicians call it) in Gothic form.
The finest examples of the latter style may be admired in St. Haul's without
the Walls ami in Santa Cecilia Galletti. Touiasetti identified the Tabernacle
of Fiano with that of S. Andrea in h'luminr near Ponzann in the same region
of the Capinates, Of the Tabernacle of S. Andrea in Flumitu' we know the
artificer*; they have incised their names upon it: '; NICOI.AV (.'I'M SI " IS
FH.IIS lOAN'NH KT GITTTOXF, FFCKHl'N'T HOC OHI S.
" These are the same who alone, without the father, made the Taliemaele of
S. Maria in Castello in 1168. The Tabernacle of Ponzano, made while Ihe
father Nicola was still alive, should be somewhat older than that of Corneto,
completed 1168; that is, altout the middle of the twelfth century. And that
almost identical taliernaclc of S. Stefano in Fiano is of the same time and
of the same artificers and of the same region of tin' Capinates. The gene-
alogy of the school of Itaiiu/.io, father of Nicola and Pietro, grandfather
of Giovanni and Guittone, recomposed by me almost by divination in the
Bullettinn for 1H73, has been afterwards luminously confirmed by new dis-
coveries of works from tlicir workshops which were signed by them."

FLEMISH RENAISSANCE TAPESTRY
SCENES FROM ROMAN HISTORY AND MYTHOLOGY
Tins magnificent piece shows an imposing arcade, through the three
openings of which is visible an arena or tilting ground, enclosed at the
back by a similar arcade that, however, is surmounted by three pavilions,
filled with spectators.
The front arcade consists of three pointed arches of timber work,
luxuriantly overgrown with vines and bunches of grapes, which are sup-
ported on eight caryatids set in pairs, hack and front. The hitter are
composed alternately of male and female heads and torsos, springing
from richly decorated marble pedestals, which rest on bases, sculptured
in high relief with griffins and boy-satyrs, staggering under the weight
of trophies of fruit.
Cnder the left arch, standing beside a lady, is a man in the costume
of a Roman soldier, with a laurel wreath on his head. While she turns
her gaze away, he is watching and applauding two men who are wrest
ling just beyond the centre arch — one in armor, the other in a close-
fitting shirt, with a clasped belt of laurel leaves around his waist. I'lider
the right arch a lady, with a white veil over her fair hair and clad in
a pale-rose gown, sits looking toward the man on I he left with an ex-
pression of anxiety, while beside her kneels another woman, with both

hands extended, as she intently watches the wrestlers. A soldier in
armor and plumed I ii-lmot is betiding down to speak to her. Behind him
appear the head and shoulders of a man blowing a Roman cornu. Two
other horn-players f'aee him on the left of the scene, and beyond this
plane of the composition are two bodies of foot and horse soldiers
charging each other, while at the extreme rear is a line of standing
spectators.
Corresponding with the magnificence of the field is the sumptuous
elaboration of the border, while its details supply a commentary to the
main subject, for they suggest the futility as well as the glory of ambi-
tion. Thus, although the figure in the right lower corner holds a crown,
there is a skull in the lap of the one opposite. Above her is another
woman with an hour-glass, while opposite to her, on the right, a woman
with enticing smile i:> inviting all and sundry toward a sarcophagus,
which is seen in part on end, with the lid off. Above these figures in
the toj) corners, couched amid flowers and fruits, are youths playing on
pan-pipes and zither; and in the panels of the top border women are
waiting amid flowers, while down below are two others, enthroned; one,
apparently holding an infant in swaddling clothes, typical, perhaps, of
domestic love, as the other may be of love unregulated. The central
pane] at the top bears a coat-of-arms with a gold crown on blue ground,
while the corresponding one at bottom exhibits an unkempt-looking
man, reclining with his hand upon a pitcher, from which water flows.
Possibly he symbolizes the origin of life: :it any rate, he is flanked, as
are the panels in the top border, by emblems of death faces of hideous
aspect, and bodies wrapped in various kinds of shroud, or showing
shrunk against their burial cloaks. Yanitas riiiiitatumf

ITALIAN KKNAISSANCE TAPESTRY
A GENERAL BEFORE A BELEAGUERED CITY
THOUdH a fragment and extensively repaired, this piece presents an
exquisitely subtle color scheme of old gold, rose and silver, harmonized
with tones of blue and brown. Its composition involves two main groups
of figures. Conspicuous at the bead of the left one is a general on a
gray horse. Arrayed in old rose and gold armor, which, like Hint of
all the other warriors, is Roman, he points with a baton to a walled city
in the rear, amid the lowers and spins of which floats a white Hag. To
the left of the general curvets a brown horse, ridden by a spearman, be-
hind whom appear the head of another horse and the head and shoulders
of his rider.
Foremost of the right-hand group stand two soldiers, one of whom
carries a flag. Behind him, ill the left corner of the composition, lies a
wounded horse, beyond which is a mounted officer, whose head shows
against the voluminous folds of a flag. In the centre of the middle
distance the spears of a group of soldiers form a serried rank.
The side borders consist of a repeat of trophies, formed of vases,
flags, cartouches, swords, trumpets and pairs of scales.

the opposite side of the scene a stout, bushy tree and two slim birches
overhang a pool of silvery water, beyond which is a knoll, sloping gently
to the level vista that extends back in the centre.
Several tones of bluish-green appear in the foliage, which is hand-
somely massed and yet has a looseness that permits the successive planes
of growth to be felt, while the delicate creamy hues of the background
are admirably suggestive both of distance and of atmosphere.
